Salem Trials - What Myth Are We Living (2023)

York's finest are back with a new album recorded during the hottest summer on record, June 2022 at ST Studios.
Short bursts of hot heavy fierce guitars supplanted by the vocals of a gruffer yorkshire Mark E Smith.

REVIEW
Crawling along dark streets, shadows loom in every doorway, footsteps echo in the night silence. Cold sweat trickling down spine, dark rumblings from a dirty basement, shadows dancing on the barred windows. Fish bones in a mouth. Coughing up blood and the smell of urine. Decay and aftershave. Cracked voice and beer-stained floor.
Each step shoes stick. Black trail like slime from a snail.
A coffin landfill club of noise and danger!
The night ignites with saw-like melodies and cavernous hypnotic rhythms kicking against the pricks! Smoke and dark truths bounce off the walls shaking flesh and brick, glass and bone. Inspiration as sonic affray, until the last notes flare into a howl of darkness.
A murder of youth collapse through doors and out along streets. City centre lights, a loneliness of drinkers cast adrift, flowing like a cut artery in a thrombosis of social isolation.
Music smashed against walls! Exciting! Unbreakable!
